Ontology alignment with wikipedia #2

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I recently came across the RXNO ontology by following
the identifiers link from the Wikipedia page on Diels Alder
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diels%E2%80%93Alder_reaction
Indeed, an ontology for reactions is precisely what the
community needs (even MeSH terms don't cover reactions).

However, I was then disappointed by the limited degree
of cross-referencing between wikipedia and RXNO.
For example, Neither the Suzuki reaction/coupling
page nor the Negishi coupling page contain reaction
boxes.

To make the cross-referencing process easier, it would
be convenient if RXNO could introduce concepts matching
those currently used by wikipedia's classification and
organization of reactions.  For example, "condensation
reactions" or "cycloaddition".  This way these wikipedia
pages could also contain a reaction box pointing out to
RXNO, but also encode in the ontology the fact that Diels-Alder
is an example of a cycloaddition reaction in RXNO, a
relationship non-semantically encoded by wikipedia.

Come to think of it these should be wikidata links as well.
